Chapter 101: Competing for Marriage
The light rain is dripping, one moment as big as a pour, another while small as fine hair, the beautiful scenery of water and sky meets, so that Sheng An is like bathed in a cloud and mist.
Located in the Xianwang Mansion not far from the General's Mansion, the gentle and handsome Xianwang, dressed in purple and jade crown, reclined in the beauty couch in the study, holding a book in his hand.
The black-clothed guard stood at the window of the study, looking at the courtyard motionlessly, his eyes were not focused, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Suddenly, a white dove flew in through the open window, flew straight to the desk in front of King Xian, and whispered a few times.
As soon as he saw it, he immediately stepped forward to catch the white pigeon, took out a very thin note from the small cylinder on its feet, looked at it, and respectfully handed it to the virtuous king who was reading on the beauty couch.
"Lord Wang, the letter said that last night the owner of the Xiaoyao Village was drunk with his friends, and he kept calling Miss Ling's name in his mouth! Early this morning, he asked people to go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage, saying that he was asking to marry Miss Ling as his wife. Also, Miss Ling was sick again, she was frightened by the mother-in-law in the old lady's courtyard of the General's Mansion, and at this time, she had already sent someone into the palace to ask for the imperial doctor. β
King Xian glanced at the note with his shadowless hand, and his fingers like white jade tapped lightly on the tabletop, and after a few breaths, the bright sound was like a spring breeze blowing in March.
"Will the cautious owner get drunk? I don't believe it! Do you believe it? β
Shadowless stood beside the virtuous prince with his sword in his arms, standing expressionlessly, and did not answer!
Lord Xian didn't expect him to respond, he straightened up elegantly, and looked lazily at the white dove walking around the table, "Ling Yiyi, who was assassinated yesterday and designed to spy on her to remove all those assassins, will be scared sick by a janitor?" This Ling Yiyi is really interesting! β
King Xian's deep, gentle eyes flashed with a dark light, and he took up the pen and put pen to paper on the white paper on the desk.
"Since Chu Xiaoyao Nasi wants to marry Ling Yiyi as his wife, and Ling Yiyi has indeed become a little fun, this king will also go and join in the fun!"
After writing, King Xian elegantly blew the ink on the paper, and when the ink was dry, he handed it to the side.
"Immediately let the chief manager go to the General's Mansion with a gift, and by the way, find out, is Chu Xiaoyao really proposing to Ling Yiyi, and wants to take Ling Yiyi's position as his wife? If so, let the chief manager help this king propose to Miss Ling of the General's Mansion by the way! It's good to marry Ling Yiyi as a side concubine! Sheng'an is really too quiet, and it's time to get lively! β
The military power of the General's Mansion of the Auxiliary State, but the fragrant bun in the eyes of everyone, whether it is the prince or the important minister, they are all watching every move of the General's Mansion. Today's move of the owner of the Xiaoyao Village and the virtuous king, I am afraid that the one who is high above will not be at ease with the general's mansion!
The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the daughters of the general's mansion are also about to be killed, and the situation in Sheng'an may change.
Wuying took the note, stuffed the note into the bamboo tube on the white pigeon's feet, and released the white pigeon.
"Is this going to help the General's Mansion?"
King Xian put down his pen, looked out the window and chuckled, "Do you think this king will be so kind?" This king just thinks that Chu Xiaoyao, who has strong financial resources, whether he really likes Miss Ling or not, he wants to participate in everything he wants to do! β
At the same time, in the second prince's mansion, Zhou Haoxuan also got the news.
Zhou Haoxuan sat on the top with a stern expression, his handsome face was a little gloomy, and Yan sΓΉ listened indifferently to the advice of his subordinates.
"Tell the second prince, Ling Yiyi, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, was sent back to Yilan Courtyard this morning with a sudden heartache, and the old lady of the General's Mansion has sent someone into the palace to ask for the imperial doctor! The owner of Xiaoyao Village and King Xian sent people to send precious jewelry, as well as many ginseng, deer antler and lingzhi and other tonic medicines, which will soon be delivered to Miss Ling. After hearing about it, a few princes have also sent people to send medicinal supplements! And also....... β
The guard didn't know whether to say it or not, and quietly glanced at Zhou Haoxuan.
"And ...... Go on. Zhou Haoxuan looked up at the guard, and then looked down at the book in his hand.
"Also, I just got the news that the owner of Xiaoyao Village and the virtuous prince have sent people to the General's Mansion to propose to Miss Ling."
After the guard finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and stood in place, waiting for Zhou Haoxuan's order.
Zhou Haoxuan's already unhappy face became even more ugly, his ruthless eyes swept towards the raindrops flying outside the window, and his big palm was clenched into a fist, clenched and pinched hard, like pinching the enemy's neck.
It seems that Ling Yiyi's changes have aroused a lot of interest, and even King Xian and the owner of Xiaoyao Village have begun to move, but Ling Yiyi is the person he has been planning for a long time, so it will be so easy to leave it to others.
Zhou Haoxuan took a deep breath and spit out the anger in his heart towards King Xian and Chu Xiaoyao before he commanded in a deep voice.
"Someone, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are waiting!"
Even if Ling Yiyi drew a line with him in front of everyone in Fengxue Lou, he didn't believe that Ling Yiyi, who had always been obedient to him, would really dislike him, she must still be angry about her engagement with her cousin.
At this time, the closed door was opened from the outside, and the maidservant girl holding the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, walked in with her head down, walked directly to the coffee table in the house, placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone one by one, and immediately bent down to grind the ink.
Zhou Haoxuan walked to the coffee table with a straight posture, picked up the brush and meditated, thinking that Ling Yiyi had asked him for a pair of ink and bamboo drawings before, but at that time, he was not even willing to be perfunctory, so he did not give it to her.
Zhou Haoxuan put down the pen with satisfaction, picked up the painting and blew it before handing it to the waiting guards.
"Take the fish intestine sword in the mansion and this ink bamboo diagram together, and then take some good bird's nest and send it to the Yilan Courtyard of the General's Mansion, and give it to Miss Ling, and feel free to find out how Miss Ling's condition is!"
The guard respectfully took the painting and rolled it carefully. "No!"
The guard saluted, turned and strode away.
Zhou Haoxuan looked at the disturbing rain with his hands behind his back, secretly thinking about the current situation, and also thinking about what to do next, and at the same time recalling that in the Fengxue Building that day, what Ling Yiyi said really didn't like him, or was he suspicious and attracted his attention!
No, he has to go to the palace once!
Thinking of this, Zhou Haoxuan immediately raised his feet and walked out of the room, asked people to prepare horses, and headed towards the palace not far away.
Several other princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were not idle, and after getting the news, they were all thinking about their future actions, how to marry Miss Ling, the most favored lady in the General's Mansion, so as to get the support of the General's Mansion.
Originally, they didn't have much hope for Ling Yiyi, who was arrogant and domineering and only liked the second prince, and Ling Yiyi, who had a bad reputation.
But Ling Yiyi changed too quickly after falling into the lake, and he didn't like the second prince anymore, and became very smart, which made them feel that it was good to marry back as an ornament.
It's just that the princes haven't made a move yet, and it was rumored that the generals of the Xiaoyao Village were asking to marry Miss Ling, and it was rumored that the virtuous prince was also asking to marry Ling Yiyi, which caught them off guard, especially now that most of the princes are adults, and the prince has not yet been established.
Since Miss Ling doesn't have anyone she likes now, then they all have a chance, so naturally they will make a move when they should make a move, and they want to fight no matter what, so they all prepare generous gifts and let people send them to Yilan Courtyard.
You must know that Wujing is the prince, and with the support of one-quarter of the military power of the General's Mansion, it is equivalent to a big step closer to the position of the prince, and the chance of becoming the prince to inherit the throne will be greatly increased, so it is strange that the princes are stable.
Of course, these princes also know that all their eggs can't be put in one basket, and while showing favor to Ling Yiyi, they don't forget that there are other concubines in General Jì's mansion.
For example, Ling Wanrou, the daughter of the big house of the General's Mansion, Ling Kerou, the second daughter of the second room, Ling Yiyi's sister-in-law Ling Xuerou, as for the fourth room, there is no concubine, only a concubine, so it is saved.
